Swords are more powerful than guns

>swords are more powerful than guns

...

>fists are more powerful than melee weapons

>faith blocks bullets

>swords are more powerful than magic

I mean... as far as most small arms calibres they are though. I would much rather get hit in the arm with a 5.56 round than a FUCKING SWORD.

>BUT MUH TEST OF STRENGTH MUH ROMANTICISM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time moves on, the orcs will be crushed by the might of innovation, the dragons will be driven to extinction as they're shot out of the sky. And mages will answer for their oppression of non-magic users by the might of gunpowder. Adapt or die.

>Have a choice between electric, time, dark, light, holy, almighty, death, or life magic
>Fire is consistently the strongest and blows 75% of the game away

Swords are literally stronger than guns

Guns are popular because of the distance and ease of use
But getting hit by a sword is much deadlier than getting shot

>fire is 'slow but powerful'
>electric is 'fast but weak'

>dual wielding is more effective than normal 2 handed weapons

And they tyranny of guns shall be answered for with the power of gun magic.

this.

>RPG with guns
>headshot
>Critical hit! Takes a quarter of enemy's HP instead of 1/8th!

*blocks your bullets with a shie-*

To be fair, guns not being prevalent probably has something to do with the sheer amount of bullshit you have to go through to own a gun in Japan.
Except in Monster Hunter, it makes sense that a race of super soldiers would do more damage with melee weapons instead of using giant guns that use (extremely hard) berries and bone husks as ammo.

Not when you're wearing plate armor. A bullet will still reach you, a sword will just slide off.

I love viable unarmed combat when other weapons are available

Isn't the hbg consistently one of the best weapons in every mh game?

y'all niggers need to watch "surviving edged weapons"

There was also a span of like 30 years in all of human history where humanity used plate armor and guns simultaneously. You could say the same thing about piercing kevlar with a sword, or even ceramic plates considering they aren't meant to distribute that kind of force and a sword would still break your ribs.

>To be fair, guns not being prevalent probably has something to do with the sheer amount of bullshit you have to go through to own a gun in Japan.

>Oh Japan is a mysterious foreign place that knows not of the outside world

1760 called, they want their meme back

A sword can chop your head off, most bullets can't

>Holding up your arms and blocking can block bullets

god I love Nadia

I bet none of you nerds have ever even been hit with a sword, or shot

>lightning has a damage value of 10-200%

I've shot a gun, does that count?

Not ib trails in the sky. Time/Dark Magic is the most powerful.

>Shitting White Gehenna on every enemy and slowing their reaction time + massive damage

>And if that wasn't enough, there's also chance to crit

depends. did you cry afterward?

No one gets hit with a sword these days

Nah.

That seems like a waste, I usually shoot bottles

>he doesn't stab himself progressively larger knives to get knife immunity
>he doesn't shoot himself with progressively larger calibers of bullets to get immunity to bullet
Only the strong will survive in the coming world of strength.

>lighting damage from 1 to xxxx
fucking Diablo 2

Nah, instead they tumble and shred your innards ensuring death in most cases without hospitalization. Thats just some bullets though. Others shatter inside you and spray metal fragments everywhere, ripping arteries and muscle.

What sort of third world country do you live in where people can't afford a quality sword?

You literally could not be more wrong.
The earliest hand-cannons were used in Europe in the 1300s,

Plate armor and guns actually took off in Europe at pretty much the exact same time. Meaning 100% of the time humanity had plate armor, they had guns. Around 500 years of concurrent use, little bit more since a few outliers were still using plate armored cuirassers into WW1.

I've been hit with a sword. Sure, it was dull and meant for sparring but holy fuck it hurts. If it doens't cut, it sure as hell could break a bone.

>Plate armor and guns actually took off in Europe at pretty much the exact same time

I genuinely cannot even believe you typed this out and thought it was correct in any way.

We shoot every year. I'm a Navyfag.

Do not be rude to our mentally handicapped brothers

go read the wikipedia article

>The earliest hand-cannons were used in Europe in the 1300s,
>Plate armor and guns actually took off in Europe at pretty much the exact same time.

>swords can cut through plate

The plate armor part aside, Ottomans did use hand cannons in 1300s

>my legs are ok

>There was also a span of like 30 years in all of human history where humanity used plate armor and guns simultaneously
try at least 200

Choose your BFF

Shitty hand cannons that had an effective range of 5 feet don't count as real guns

Only when matchlocks came about were they taken seriously

*blocks your path*

>most expensive and difficult to make weapons are only good for killing retarded half naked peasants
>the most expensive and difficult to make armor is most easily beaten by weapons any retard can produce cheaply in large numbers
Who designed this shit system?

I choose Slappy Feet.

matchlocks are just refined handgonnes

*blocks your horde*

Whats with all the recent threads about games not being 'realistic'?
If your suspension of disbelief is this easy to break, perhaps video games are not for you lad

Good idea, I did. It said you're all fucking retarded.
When do you think plate armor hit the battlefields user?

sheeit so we're stuck at only 400 years of concurrent use.

*blocks your living*
heh, nothin personnel human

fuck, forgot this picture I spent ages 12 thousand hours researching

>game has spears
>attack animation involves swinging them like swords

generally when people say "plate armor" they mean full plate harness

...

>stab
>stab
>swing
>swing
>big baseball swing

>rifles do less damage than pistols

>>flood room with water
>>both opponents down

>Slicing someone in half does more damage than a bullet to the shoulder

wtf I hate video games now?

>shooting someone in the lungs doesn't kill them

???

but! 9mm is bigger than 5.56mm or 7.62mm!

>full plate armour developed in Europe during the Late Middle Ages, especially in the context of the Hundred Years' War, from the coat of plates worn over mail suits during the 13th century.
Oh, wait

>There was also a span of like 30 years in all of human history where humanity used plate armor
>plate armor

>Partial plate armour, which protected the chest and the lower limbs, was used by the ancient Greeks (muscle cuirass) and Romans (lorica segmentata)

>faster the fire rate - lower the damage
>use same ammo
Fucking hate how double barrel shotty is a weapon that can kill anything, but auto-shotgun is just an assault rifle with worse accurate and range.

He is right though.

Like say, these guys, who kept using full plate armor until the 1770s?

So, just plate cuirasses which fell out of use for more than two thousand years are relevant to this discussion? Interesting.

>shooting a femur or kneecap doesn't cause the opponent to fall down

...

>shoot someone in the lungs
>it rebounds off of their rib
>their rib is shattered and their nipple was blasted off by the deflected bullet, but none of their vitals are damaged

>slice someone in half
>sever their brain
>sever their lungs
>sever their pancreas
>sever their liver
>sever their penis and balls

Damn fucking straight swords are more deadly than bullets.

>inb4 "b-but muh regenerating liver"

>chance to do damage anywhere between "paltry feathery tickle" or "asshole annihilating force of nature"
Lightning was fun.

>Like say, these guys
that's not full harness, that's like half

Or, this not full plate armor, but fuck you, French Cuirassers, in 1913
it's ok, they will learn, I will force them to

>Plate armor and guns actually took off in Europe at pretty much the exact same time. Meaning 100% of the time humanity had plate armor, they had guns.
>no
>ohoho, so the plate armor that existed before guns somehow counts, hmmmm?

Gotta go for the Twins.

This shit was retardedly common in MGSV.

Well, it literally can if you’re not a hungry hungry skeleton

I'll go with Albert, he seems like a cool dude.
